The Wallet of Time
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Produced in 1913, The Wallet of Time is a publication by William Winter, in two volumes. Its title is taken from the words of William Shakespeare: "Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back, Wherein he puts alms for oblivion,..." American stage actors and actresses, most of whom had been born in Europe, of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth century are the subjects covered in the publication. Thirty-three illustrations of actors and actresses are in volume I which contains 668 pages. Many of the plays and rôles are mentioned, thus, the work is of particular value to people who have an interest in or curiosity about stage actors of earlier times.
